I agree that we the viewer and possibly Dean too, in-show, are being led to that conclusion. But I don't think so. We've had several pointed reminders so far (by Dean's questioning of Castiel, and Human!Meg) about the 'meatsuits'. Which by themselves wouldn't be enough, but we've also seen Sam being concerned about saving the hosts so he's aware of the issue as well. I don't think Sam would forget about Ruby's human host, no matter how dependent on her he might have become while Dean was dead.
So either they're not having sex at all and it's just a big tease, OR Ruby's host consented. I have no idea where they're going with Ruby, but I could see a possibility of blurring the lines some more and have a host who consented to, uh, time-share. Sort of like Tok'ra, instead of Goa'uld, I guess. Or more like those hosts who wanted to become Goa'uld, because they thought they were getting closer to their god. Maybe someone was willing to sacrifice herself to bring Ruby back because she is a devil worshipper or something? *shrug* I don't know, it's still squicky, but at least it would be more ambiguous.
I also don't think the actors have been directed to act as if they're lovers. I know she's not hugely experienced, so I don't know if she would be different, but certainly Jared would do a better job if that's the impression we were supposed to have. IMO, anyway! :)
